Jungfraujoch

Activity overview

Travel like never before as you take trains and a coach to the top of Europe and marvel at the wonders the Swiss Alps and the Aletsch glacier have to offer.

Your coach will pick you up at KISC and take you to the base of the Jungfraujoch. Here you will take a train ride like none before, passing through mountain tunnels, changing at train stations in the middle of the mountains and reaching an altitude of 3,454 metres. Once you reach the top, the views will take your breath away. The train will take you part way down, stopping at Kleine Scheidegg where you will then hike the rest of the way to Grindelwald, giving you the chance to take in the beautiful surroundings of the area. At the station, you will meet your coach and return to KISC.
